  • Summary

  • Dermot O'Leary welcomes you back to the second season of his interview podcast, People, Just People. Inspired by understanding how some of the most interesting people in all walks of life got to where they have, Dermot chats candidly with guests about key moments that have defined them, the lessons they have learnt and much more.

    Dermot says: "People, Just People is born out of curiosity to find out more about the lives of individuals that I've watched from afar – but not had the chance to get to know. How they got to where they did, the highs and lows that shaped that journey, and what have they learned along the way?"

    This is an Audible Original Podcast. Free for members. New episodes will arrive in your Library weekly, on a Thursday.

Great concept, poor interviewer.

Great idea and stories but the interviewer ruined it for me. He cut the guests off and rushed the interviews too much for my liking.
